At Thurso, June 2007 -
ATTEMPTS to put the Northern Isles ferry contract out to tender were thrown into confusion last night after one of the short-listed companies pulled out and the timetable had to be extended for the other contenders. The Irish Continental Group had been one of three companies invited to bid for the contract to run ferry services to Orkney and Shetland which had been held by NorthLink. But the Irish group has decided to withdraw its bid, telling Executive ministers it was unhappy with the financial package on offer. That decision leaves only two companies in the contest - Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac), the state-owned Western Isles ferry operator and V-Ships, a private ship management company from Glasgow. πηγη: scotsman
